Installing libXp on Loki

Question

I have installed matlab on my system. When I try to run Matlab I get this error -

/usr/local/bin/matlab: 1: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2010b/bin/util/oscheck.sh:/lib64/libc.so.6: not found
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2010b/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB: error while loading shared libraries: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried installing libXp using

sudo apt-get install libXp.so.6

Which gave me these errors:

E: Unable to locate package libXp.so.6
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libXp.so.6'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libXp.so.6'

Also tried

apt-get install libXp6

With this error

E: Unable to locate package libXp6

How do I solve this?

My architecture is x86_64

Thank you

It's not in the repo anymore. you can download the old .deb and install that.

To install in the terminal:

cd ~/Downloads
sudo dpkg -i name_of_deb.deb
